## Key points

- Ireland beat Argentina 42-12 in Dublin.
- Hugo Keenan scored three of Ireland’s six tries.
- Farrell wants Ireland to make more of their attacking chances.

## Summary

Ireland opened their November campaign with a 42-12 win over Argentina in Dublin, scoring six tries despite conceding an early score. The result matters as Andy Farrell’s side build towards next year’s World Cup, but the head coach said Ireland had missed chances to be more ruthless.

Hugo Keenan scored a hat-trick, with Dan Sheehan, Sam Prendergast and Ronan Kelleher also crossing. Ireland held 59% of the territory but did not score after the 55th minute; several players, including Sheehan, Robert Baloucoune and Mack Hansen, also raised injury concerns ahead of Fiji’s visit on 14 November.
